The thing is, the people he plays to eat this stuff up.
One can only hope they are also so dumb they don't see the need to vote.
True, but those people are already going to vote for him. The undecided, for the most part don't like being manipulated with lies, and this is just the kind of thing that turns a lot of voters off. Furthermore, if his campaign starts to look like it is in panic mode with wild accusations a lot of Kerry voters will stay home. What is helping Bush is how comitted his support is to voting.
Exactly. They're so scared they'd have to fight (or flight to Canada) that they don't notice the Dems actually doing the same thing they accuse the Republicans of doing! Only Dems proposed Draft legislation! D'oh!
"One can only hope they are also so dumb they don't see the need to vote."
And there lies the problem, at one time we had voting requirements designed to insure that only those with a functioning brain voted, we need to reinstate those requirements. We allow people to vote when they barely have the intelligence to find the bathroom unassisted.
